Farmer Loses Crashed Plane To Marshals JEANNETTE, Pa. (UPI) Domiaick Pangallo lost the first battle but he's more determined than ever to via the war. After three days of standing guard over the wreckage of a plane that crashed on his farm here, Pangallo watched Friday while U.S. marshals seized the single- engine craft. -I know it looked bad that 1 let them take the plane instead of going to jail, but I did it because of my family.

My daughter was crying --they really didn't want me to go," Pangallo said Saturday. Pangallo and neighbors had been guarding the plane since it crashed Tuesday in a protest against the nearby Pittsburgh-Boquet Airport, which they charge is making their lives intolerable. They say the planes fly too low, do stunts over a nearby playground, disturb livestock and make so much noise that they sometimes cant talk on the telephone. Pangallo had vowed he would keep the plane until he received compensation for damages to his property and some assurances that the neighborhood's demands would be satisfied. Although he relented when the mar-' shals appeared and demanded the plane or tas arrest, Pangallo is determined to continue his battle in the courts.

He has one lawsuit pending and plans to file another. 'Tm fighting all the way up to the highest court and I'm never quitting," he said. "I want the whole nation to know what's happening. I want the government to be forced to help us." think they won, but they haven't seen the last of me," Pangallo said.

(Courier Photo) Senate Votes Lame Duck Shaf er Gave Home Buyers Contracts Without Funds Tax Break By MIKE FEINSILBER. WASHINGTON (DPI) The Senate has voted to give even more taxpayers a tax saving of up to $2,000 for buying new homes this year.

But it is questionable whether the House will go along and, if it does, whether President Ford might not balk. The new provision would add a quarter of a billion dollars to a fiscal 1976 deficit expected to approach or exceed $75 In Friday night's'action, the Senate -voted to make buyers of homes which were in some stage of construction by Thursday eligible for a tax credit of 5 per cent of the cost of the house up to a maximum credit of $2,000. A tax credit is an amount subtracteoVfrom taxes owed. The original plan, made law last March 29 by a reluctant Ford as part of Ms tax rebate bill, offered a tax credit to purchasers of new, never previously occupied homes the construction of which started before March 26,1975. Sen.

Russell B. Long, sought the extension and liberalization of the tax credit, which he said created a spurt in the sale of built but unsold homes. "Hit's worth doing, it's worth doing a little more of," Long said. "Dollar for dollar," he argued, nothing the government has done has caused more employment than this effort to clear out the unsold inventory of new homes, a drag on the market in a depressed industry. Anyway, Long argued, everything else Congress has tried to do for housing has been vetoed or faces a veto.

HARRISBURG (UPI) The Shafer administration handed out non-bid engineering contracts that the state could not afford to Republican political, contributors during the waning days of the lame duck governor's term, the Ottaway News Service reported Friday. The service said in a copyrighted story that in the last five months of Gov. Raymond Chafer's term, the Transportation Department assigned 44 engineering contracts for highway construction projects to 29 firms whose officers bad donated more than $79,000 to the Republican State Committee. Of these, 21 were assigned during the two months- between Gov. Milton J.

Shapp's election and his inauguration, even though PennDOT officials knew the department did not have enough money to -pay for the engineering work, Ottaway said. The news service said that according to Shapp administration sources, Shafer's officials attempted to give these contracts as a reward to persons who contributed to the Republican Party.

Babick, 24, of Mount Pleasant, R. D. 3, went off the road on School Street at 12:30 a.m. today. The mishap, which occurred outside the borough-township line, damaged lawns and trees on the property of Robert Hostoffer and Donald Rodgers.

The impact downed the line and damaged a transformer. A West Penn Power Company spokesman said the report was received at 9:43 p.m. and the power was restored at 10:18 p.m. State Police estimated damage at $100.

Palankey, 2519 W. Crawford troopers said. "It was very inappropriate to assign these projects because the money wasn't budgeted for them," Ottaway quoted one source as saying. The service said the Shapp administration canceled most of those contracts. Ottaway said a comparison of Penn- DOT records and a list of political con tributions, 44 of the 51 engineering contracts assigned by PennDOT between September 1970 and midJanuary 1971 were assigned to firms that were GOP contnbutors.

A contract assignment is the first formal step towards executing a contract. It represents PennDOT's Mention to have a firm perform the engineering work for a specific highway, construction project Ottaway said "that acco'fding 'to Shapp adriuniltfaUon sources, "Sfiafer officials thought the assignments would be honored by the new administration. Victor Anckaitis, secretary of transportation for Shafer, said the Ottaway story was "completely off base." Anckaitis said the contracts -were awarded on the basis of merit, and not on the basis of which firm contributed the most to the Republican Party. And Clifford Jones, the Republican State Chairman in 1970, said he was not aware that so many contracts were assigned to GOP contributors in the last days of the Shafer administration. "I find it very hard to believe that the dumping of the contracts (in late 1970) was in essence a payment for the contributions," Jones said.

The captain took his fishing boat alongside and sent a man aboard. He began bailing out the half-swamped sailboat and as the water on the deck lowered, bones appeared. The Warrior II docked here Friday, with the 27-foot Grace A. Ghislaine on its deck. On her decks had been found three coins, two wristwatches, a fishing net and two skeletons, picked clean by birds and bleached by the Caribbean sun.

Warrior II found her 65 miles northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula, the end of an aimless drift from Martinique and another grun mystery of the sea. The Coast Guard said in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Friday night that the Grace A. Ghislaine and two men had been missing from Fort de France, Martinique, since April 12. The two men were not identified.
